🏌️ 2026 British Speedgolf Championships
James Hardy has continued his remarkable rise in Speedgolf by successfully defending his British Championship title at Sunningdale Heath Golf Club – completing an extraordinary run of four consecutive major victories in the sport.
Hardy faced an early challenge from Will Robson, who led after the opening round with a score of 62 in 25 minutes 29 seconds.
But the defending champion responded with the lowest stroke score of the championship in the afternoon, shooting an exceptional 61 in just 25 minutes 55 seconds. Anyone who has played golf at Sunningdale Heath will appreciate just how impressive this is.
Hardy’s final Speedgolf score was 175:01, compared with Robson’s 177:51.

This has been a remarkable 12 months for Hardy, his victory is particularly notable given that he only discovered Speedgolf in 2025.
Since then, his progress has been extraordinary. The British Championship is now his fourth consecutive Major Speedgolf victory, following wins at the French, US and Benelux Speedgolf Championships during the summer.
